[Eephus]

Aretha and Stevie picks were both 1970

Edwin Starr had no year

Trouble Man was already picked

OG Kush still available

Ummm, does the draft sheet look weird to anyone else?

Weirder than usual?

I was updating

should be back to normal

 

[Eephus]

I went back a few pages and couldn't find round #19 picks for  @Raging weasel and @Yo Mama

 

[rockaction]

I'm finding radio is better than TV at preserving the illusion that 2020 baseball is normal

Tampa Bay still isn't playing in front of any crowd, so they're unfazed.

Looks fine to me. Seriously. No issues.

gosh darnIT I DIDN'T TOUCH IT!!!

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Round 19:  Soul Sacrifice, Santana (1969)

Listening now.

Great pick.

It is one of the best "sleeper" picks ever, imo. Not cause it is a snooze, but because I think it has 1st round quality, but can usually be gotten like this.

 

[KarmaPolice]

You get an extra 1981 if you want it

Pass.  Do I owe 4?

 

[krista4]

Thanks, all good now.  I was afraid it was being hijacked.

 

[Eephus]

Pass.  Do I owe 4?

Yeah, your last pick was "Don't Want to Miss a Thing".

 

[Man of Constant Sorrow]

Yeah, your last pick was "Don't Want to Miss a Thing".

Irony?

21st round  Cheap Trick - I Want You To Want Me (Live at Budokan version - 1979)

Happy to include the kick-### b-side, Look Out.

Rick Nielsen and Bun E. Carlos recorded versions of John's "I'm Losing You" and Yoko's "I'm Moving On" for Double Fantasy.  These versions didn't get included on the album, but "I'm Losing You" was later released on John Lennon Anthology.  

Cheap Trick also celebrated the 40th anniversary of Sgt. Pepper's by performing a track-by-track rendition of the album on tour.  Since the Beatles stopped touring before that album came out, it's as close as anyone could get to celebrating the album on tour.  I wish I'd seen it; pretty cool stuff to listen to now.

I first remember hearing this song on a "teen" cruise on the Belle of Louisville. The cover band was a Heart rip-off, but did it justice.

oh, I wasn't quite a teen yet; only 12.

Hah! I felt soooo coooool!

 

[Raging weasel]

I thought the chorus of this song was "rumors in the hall"

Round19 Groove is in the Heart- Deee-Lite 1990

[krista4]

Damn it!  I was really hoping to see the "free roll" year before I go off the grid so I could spend my time dreaming about my picks.  Oh well, see you guys Tuesday night-ish.

4.19 Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder) - Maxwell (1996)

Not clear the B-side because I can't find a 45 of it.

The flip side of the Cassingle is Lock You Up N' Love Fa Days, And I will take that if allowed?

coming back to this one since I'm spinning it rn. great pick.

 

[rockaction]

Huh. I posted this last time there was a free play and I guess I'll post again.

Humbug.

 

[Yo Mama]

I went back a few pages and couldn't find round #19 picks for  @Raging weasel and @Yo Mama

Hmm, to buzzed to remember my picks. I forgot to update the spreadsheet with my picks, so I’ll do it in the mornin. Looks like my 16th is missing too (Fortunate Son?). 

 

[Yo Mama]

So I was chillin out front doing a little drinking and smoking. I thought the smokin part was on the down low, but my neighbor noticed. He’s cool (we’ve done social distancing drinks in my driveway before), but I didn’t know he was COOL. He ran into his house and came back with a chair, a drink, and a joint of his own. Social distancing puff, puff, no pass ensued. I’m so happy now!

Ahh, pretty sure my 19th was Dear God by XTC.

This is like Googling yourself

I learned this as a result of these drafts since so many people here have decided that someone else should populate the sheet for them because it's too difficult to click on the googlesheet link posted at the beginning of the thread.

This spreadsheet even I can update.  I don't dare touch some of the others.

Round 20  -  White Room  -  Cream  - 1968

But not the B-side.  It features the ocarina.

Round 21  -  I'm A Believer -  The Monkees  -  1966

And the B-side  I'm Not Your Steppin' Stone

Both with lead vocals by Mickey Dolenz.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

Badass.

Round 22: Miranda Lambert -- Gunpowder and Lead

Year: 2007

Album: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

B-side: None. Just a radio promo single that was by itself. 

 

[Dr. Octopus]

I saw that tour also - Steel Wheels - Louisville - had a great time. 

Saw it at Shea Stadium, Queens.

 

[MAC_32]

One of the reasons I dragged my feet about picking 1969 until yesterday is I didn't know which song to pick.

Round 21 Led Zeppelin - Babe I'm Gonna Leave You (1969)

b side - Dazed & Confused

And now I get both. Top 5 zep all timer. 

 

[Raging weasel]

Second free play is 1969

I wanted any year but this one :(

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Another free play year I hadn't used yet, so I will:

Round 22 Chelsea Morning - Joni Mitchell (1969)

 

[Binky The Doormat]

22.03: Lunatic Fringe - Red Rider (1981)

this has to be top 10 one-hit wonder for me - so glad weasel didn't steal it from me

 

[landrys hat]

22.xx Searchin' by The Coasters (1957)

 

[Pip's Invitation]

This was the first video I ever saw on MTV, and I've loved it ever since. Tons better than that ... other ... song of Tom Cochran's. 

I presume you've heard Todd's cover of this.
